Synopsis

The Twisted Sword, the eleventh audiobook in Winston Graham's classic Poldark saga, now a major TV series from Masterpiece PBS.

Cornwall 1815

Demelza sees a horseman riding down the valley and senses disruption to the domestic contentment she has fought so hard to achieve. For Ross has little option but to accept the summons – and travel to Paris with his family, as an 'observer' of the French armed forces.

Parisian life begins well with an exhilarating round of balls and parties. But the return of Napoleon brings separation, distrust and danger to the Poldarks . . . and always for Demelza there is the shadow of the secret she does not even share with Ross.

In his Poldark series, Winston Graham explores the complications of love lost and the class struggle of early 19th-century England with a light comic touch. The Twisted Sword is followed by the twelfth audiobook in the Poldark series, Bella Poldark.

5 STARS Deliver my soul from the sword, My only life from the power of the dog. Somehow I should have known by the title. For it seems that Winston Graham has a real knack for choosing them. Here we have another heartbreaker in the series. There is no way to describe the feelings I have ab......more
